    And if you are unlucky, police will stop you, ticket you and tell you to tow your vehicle home.

    That’s actually if you’re lucky my dude.

    If you’re really really unlucky then you slam your truck into a minivan full of kids on their way to school and kill them all because you decided to drive through a layer of Vaseline ice on your windshield and endanger everyone else around you.

      True … if you decide to head out on a busy roadway or highway … when I had the problem with my windshield, I was just moving over block to block to get to where I had to be in my neighbourhood. I do remember one friend who was coming up from Toronto in February who lost his heating midway through on his way to Timmins and he said it was absolutely scary to decide to drive on a northern highway with a windshield like that.

      You’re right, it is an absolutely dangerous thing to do in the wintertime and I’d never attempt it on a major roadway if I had the choice.
